Muck Grab for JCB 536-60

[A1an]

Looking at purchasing a muck fork with grab for handling bark, need to go as big as is safe.
Would a 7ft 6" grab be overkill?

Not at all - that size would be common for muck, which will be far heavier than bark.

Buy a bucket with a grab they're much more versatile

You ever tried driving in to a load of bark with a bucket?
Besides, I've enough buckets.

Will handle 7ft 6 no problem at all I would chance bigger if it was not too clumsy for you

Surely bark will just fall through the tines [emoji57] be better with a bucket or close spaced tines

Will it not just fall out?? if its a muck grab you want then a 7'6" high capacity xform should be fine or a 8ft standard capacity, might even be okay with 8ft high capacity IMO so long as its JUST bark you want it for?

Not sure i understand why a bucket isnt good enough IMO? maybe your not loading off concrete?

or theres this but might not hold enough volume for you?

When I say bark I don't mean the bark that you chuck on your garden. This stuff is the leftover bark/branches/sticks/logs from each chipping session. When I try to enter the pile with a bucket it only takes the smallest little amount as the bucket just won't push in to the pile.

8ft Murray Machinery muck fork with grab ordered. Let’s see how this works.

It works perfectly, who would've thunk it. It holds 600 kgs. Should've gone 10ft!

Nah, buy a bucket with a top grab for that kind of material.
